Trudeau’s Mimicking Birds

Recent current events indicate that Canada is approaching a very slippery slope. It is apparent that evermore oppressive gun restrictions are on the horizon if left to the discretion of the Liberals and socialists.

For example we need only look to “worship” John Tory, reelected as Mayor of Toronto on Oct. 22, 2018. Tory has made a renewed call for gun control laws in the city asking “why does anyone in Toronto need a gun?” at a recent city council meeting. [1] Tory apparently believes that a total handgun & ammunition ban in The City of Toronto is the solution to gun-related crime. He declared this openly, clearly forgetting the fact that in 2008, he was quoted in the National Post as saying that “the real problem was guns coming over the border, and a handgun ban isn’t the answer.” [2]

And let us not forget the ‘honourable’ M.P. Bill Blair, minister of border security and organized crime reduction. His misguided initiative to ban handguns and assault rifles Canadawide in 2019 has been well advertised and is slated for immediate rollout should the Liberals achieve reelection.

Blair’s ‘objective’ of seeking out public opinion on firearms by way of a ‘consulting tour’, a “charade to give the impression of action without a definitive commitment” [3] while simultaneously vilifying legal firearm owners and fudging statistical data, can only result in a single conclusion.

Undoubtedly, Blair will deduce on behalf of all Canadian citizens that firearms “cause crime” and are synonymous with iniquity. Firearms, he argues, must be removed from the possession of legal gun owners to prevent them from falling into the hands of gang members and criminals.

Mr. Blair said he “wants the consultations to be completed by the end of the year”, which means that any legislation to ban handguns could be introduced as early as 2019. The government will thereby “change firearms laws without any guarantee that the measure will reduce crime.” [4]

Canadian gun owners are now truly under attack by the current Liberal regime. Our government would seem to be running out the clock before the next major election and are poised for a crackdown on legal gun owners. We hear nebulous rumors of a restricted firearms ban, talk of centralized storage facilities for restricted firearms and murmurs of reclassification (categorization of “non-restricted firearm” to “hunting firearm” and “restricted firearm” to “circumscribed firearm.” [5]) Harsh sounding words like ‘assault rifle’ are constantly being parroted, saturating the media and discouraging rational debate.

With the Liberal’s disastrous blunders now becoming known, the upcoming election is looming large. It is obvious that in order to minimize their shortcomings (unsustainable debt, social & economic gaffes and gross freedom and privacy violations), Liberals are now sensationalizing their only “accomplishment”, taking a hard stance on gun crime to coincide with the election.

Marijuana legalization is the single feather in their caps, the only Liberal campaign promise that has been fulfilled. The exaggeration of firearm related crime in Canada, accompanied by sensational, breathless talk of a handgun ban is being used to expedite their re-election. Our once great nation’s rights and freedoms are on the Liberal chopping block, and we dare not say a single thing about it.

The Liberal model of removing firearms from private ownership for the safety of all is surely folly. We must remember the old adage “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns” [6], for criminals will surely continue to find ways to obtain guns illicitly. If we don’t put a stop to this government and their envisioned misdeeds now, the agendas set forth in their first term will undoubtedly come to fruition during their second.

As ridiculous as the questionnaire is, we at RWN urge all Canadian Firearms owners to answer the Public Safety dialogue on the government website, available until Nov 10th.

Answer the multiple choice and be sure to reiterate in the comments section the foolishness and obvious ignorance of the questions asked. For example, the questionnaire defines ‘assault weapons’ and then rhetorically asks the public if they want ‘easier access to them’. Let them have it.

Equally important, the National Firearms Association have started an e-Petition concerning Canadian firearms rights. Let the Liberal government know that they cannot slide this extreme affront to our rights and freedoms under the radar. Make it clear that you, as a Conservative Canadian, are paying attention and will not stand for this balderdash.
